Chicago Blackhawks Captain Nick Foligno re-joined the team for practice today following a leave of absence to attend to his daughter’s heart surgery. There’s positive news on her health, the incredible support his family has received, and Foligno’s perspective on how the team has performed in his absence. The CHGO Blackhawks crew — Jay Zawaski and Mario Tirabassi — break down what Foligno’s return means for a young team led by Connor Bedard, Frank Nazar, Ryan Donato, and Alex Vlasic, and how head coach Jeff Blashill plans to reintegrate him into the lineup. Plus, Jonathan Toews opens up to Elliotte Friedman about his NHL future and what becoming Blackhawks Captain so early in his career taught him. That and more on this episode of the CHGO Blackhawks Podcast!
